Real Men Need To Cleanse

It’s important to exfoliate and hydrate daily. Regardless of your occupation or geographic location, the twin scourges of sun and wind damage the top layers of your skin irreparably without a definite full court press defense. Begin your skin training today and reap the benefits over the next 20 years. Deal with collagen and elastin depletion. Confront hyaluronic acid disruption and increase the cell reproduction that is key to younger looking and feeling skin.

Protecting What You Already Have

Deep set lines might look distinguished on some men, but others don’t want these obvious signs of their age. Consider smoothing the brow with BOTOX® Cosmetic. It’s easy, affordable and so quick.

To help prevent these lines, use a sunscreen with an ample protection factor. While more new cases of skin cancer every year should be enough to coax anyone into wearing sunscreen, the fact is that it’s also a crucial step toward anti-aging skin care. The sun inflicts compounding damage; each time you step into the sun without protection you’re damaging your skin more. Start adding protection to your daily routine:

After washing your face, add sunscreen to your face, neck, backs of the hands and any other exposed skin.

Reapply this sunscreen as the day goes on

If you should get your face or hands wet or sweaty, you will want to apply more sunscreen

Correcting Sun Damage Once You’ve Gotten Burned

Many people believe that all hope is lost once they do get sunburn, so they stop putting on protection. Studies have shown that skin can repair itself if you act quickly after sunburn, protecting yourself from future occurrences.

When you get sunburned, begin by applying ice to the affected area, just as you would with a ‘real’ burn.

Take a vitamin E supplement daily. One capsule a day is fine, so long as your general practitioner has not told you that you should not take vitamin E.

Apply a lotion or cream to the area that contains hyaluronic acid. This is conducive to healing and repair of the skin cells.

Men more than ever before are using wrinkle and anti aging creams! Lines around the eyes and other areas of the face such as around the mouth are making men look 10 years older than their age. While you shouldn’t practice anti-aging skin care after the fact, it’s certainly not a bad idea to try to lessen the damage you have caused. At whatever age, you will look your best!

Making Sure It’s Not More Than a Wrinkle

For many men, their jobs can expose them to more sunlight. While it might be worrisome in terms of anti aging skin care, it can also present a more serious condition, like skin cancer. While you might think that ‘age spot’ is just a sign of your years, it could also be something that’s pointing out a more serious issue. Signs that might point out something more than skin care issue:

A skin growth that seems to change in color or size

A skin growth that doesn’t heal on its own in four weeks

A mole or growth that is larger than a pencil head or has irregularly shaped borders

The easiest way to tell if your growth is an age spot or a cancerous or pre-cancerous lesion is to check with Dr. Braun. You may be a candidate for Photodynamic Therapy.

Dealing With the Wrinkles You Do Have

There are several ways men can incorporate anti aging skin care into their daily routine. After shaving, men can apply their favorite cream or antiseptic, but follow that with a moisturizer that contains anti aging ingredients or botanicals. Natural oils and emollients can lessen the appearance of finer lines, but deeper set lines will require more concentrated gels and creams (with collagen boosters and antioxidants). Of course, there are other anti aging skin care procedures that can also be scheduled:
